Movie Review: Tom Hanks navigates the ‘Road to Perdition’
From a mermaid-loving man to Mister Rogers, Tom Hanks certainly has tackled a wide variety of roles in his career. One of the most different is the Depression-era hit man he plays in the 2002 drama “Road to Perdition,” which MGM+ shows Wednesday, May 22. It’s a necessarily mannered and low-key part for the typically gregarious Hanks, and if it’s difficult to accept him in it, that’s a sign of just how successful he is in it. ...

OPINION: D.C. lawmakers should support Alzheimer's research

Jottings From Fifth & G: Remember these days
As the end of the 2023-2024 school year draws near, I imagine there’s a swirl of emotions in the air among the youth in our community. Excitement because of upcoming summer vacations. Trepidation because of complicated family situations. Concern that hunger may be around the corner. Relief that another tough school year is over. Nostalgia at leaving friends and moving on to a new school in the next school year. Anticipation as one chapter closes and a new exhilarating and maybe unknown one begins for high school graduates. ...

OPINION: Vote for two proven leaders in Clackamas County
Craig Roberts was Clackamas County sheriff for 16 years before retiring in 2020. Sheriff Brandenburg is now seeking her second term while Roberts runs for Clackamas County board chair.

The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office is thriving — no surprise given the strong leadership of the past 20 years. Clackamas County is the safest of the five largest counties in Oregon for 2022 and 2023. While other...
